Dhumavati, O Goddess! You are the ancient Crone,
The wise and beautiful grand mother of great wisdom,
You are wearing the clean white clothes and residing
In the hearts of great yogis and the world renouncers;
Among them You are the power that destroys illusions,
And that causes Samadhi, the supreme state of bliss !
~*~
Salutations to Dhumavati,who is always presumed
As the dark Goddess of misfortune, who resides in
The cremation ground, who rides on a chariot with
The emblem of a crow, who wears smoky and dusty
Clothes, who has long saggy and pendulous breasts,
Who holds a winnowing basket and a good gesture!
~*~
O Dhumavati, You are the Goddess of destruction
Your form consists of smoky fire, just as the smoke
From a building on fire or the smoke from the volcanic
Eruption or aftermath of bombing in wars.Your lessons
Are very harsh! You're a wake up call for the ignorant.
You are carrying the light of divine wisdom within!
~*~
O Goddess, You are appearing as a matured woman
Completely naked, adorned with jewels on Your breasts.
You are fascinating the worldly men with all allurements
Causing sleep, lust,thirst,greed,grief, disease and death.
You are causing great misery in their paths of existence.
O Dhumavati, why don't You show some mercy on us!
~*~
O Dhumavati, You came from the void with white luster,
You are the goddess of purity and perfection, who never
Tolerates human transgressions of divine laws, and ever
Punishing the sinners who donot repent for their actions!
You have a soft heart for Your devotees, being famous
As a boon giver, destroy my foes and grant me success!
